"Jessica meets Mr Fox"
by John A Elliott 2024
Once upon a time, there was a magical forest where all kinds of creatures lived in harmony. The forest was full of wonders and secrets, and every tree, flower, and animal had a special power.
One day, a young girl named Jessica wandered into the forest, looking for adventure. She was curious and brave, and she loved to explore new places. She had heard stories about the magical forest from her grandfather, who used to visit it when he was a boy. He told her that the forest was a place where anything could happen, and where dreams could come always true.
Jessica walked deeper and deeper into the forest, admiring the beauty and diversity of nature. She saw birds that could sing in different languages, butterflies that could change their colours, and mushrooms that could glow in the dark. She smelled flowers that could make her happy, fruits that could make her smart, and herbs that could make her strong. She felt the warmth of the sun, the breeze of the wind, and the pulse of the earth.
She was so enchanted by the forest that she didn't notice that she was being followed by a friendly fox. The fox had seen Jessica enter the forest, and he was curious about her. He wanted to talk to her and play with her. He also wanted to protect her from any danger that might lurk in the forest.
The fox decided to reveal himself to Jessica when she reached a clearing. He jumped out of the bushes and greeted her with a smile. Jessica was startled at first, but then she smiled back. She was not afraid of the fox, because she could sense that he was kind and gentle.
"Hello, little girl," the fox said. "What are you doing in the forest?"
"Hello, Mr. Fox," Jessica said. "I'm looking for a perfect adventure. I want to see the wonders of the forest and learn its secrets."
"Well, you've come to the right place," the fox said. "The forest is full of wonders and secrets, and I know them all. I can show you around and teach you everything you want to know. Would you like to be my friend?"
"Yes, I would love to be your friend," Jessica said. "You seem very nice and smart. And you can talk! That's amazing!"
"Thank you," the fox said. "And you seem very sweet and brave. And you can understand me! That's amazing too!"
The fox and Jessica became friends, and they spent the whole day exploring the forest together. They had fun and learned a lot from each other. They also helped each other when they faced some challenges, such as crossing a river, climbing a hill, or escaping a bear.
They had so much fun that they didn't realize that the sun was setting and the night was coming. They decided to find a place to rest and sleep. They found a cosy cave near a waterfall, where they made a fire and ate some berries. They talked and laughed until they fell asleep.
The next morning, they woke up and continued their adventures
When Jessica went home, no time had actually elapsed, except for a few minutes on the old grandfather clock that stood, tick tocking in the hall, it's chimes struck four o'clock, time for tea and crumpets. The Magical Forest really had lived up to it's name. "I think another adventure will be forthcoming" said Jessica to herself, as she spread the crumpets with lashings of best butter
